ThymUS 2020 International Conference on Lymphopoiesis

项目摘要/摘要 胸腺2020年淋巴生成、T细胞分化和免疫重建国际会议 (http://www.thymusmeeting.org/2020)将于2020年5月2日至6日在HI的韦雷亚海滩举行。这是第六次 会议的迭代，这是唯一一个专门讨论胸腺主题的美国会议 和T淋巴细胞分化，以及这些过程在衰老和疾病期间是如何改变的。这个 因此，会议具有独特的科学内容，涉及高度动态和多产的自适应领域 免疫、胸腺器官发生和T细胞发育和分化，并与抵抗 感染，从出生到衰老的免疫动态平衡，治疗或病理性T细胞后的免疫重建 消融、自我耐受和自身免疫。重要的是，会议提供了几个无与伦比的功能， 包括(I)对胸腺生物学的单一关注，这在美洲是独一无二的；(Ii)所有与会者的低成本， 向受训者提供额外的补贴；(3)极其丰富的公正陈述机会， 特别关注受训人员；和(4)高度刺激的非正式互动环境，为受训人员提供 可在会议期间与实地领导人接触。

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The ThymUS 2020 International Conference on Lymphopoiesis, T cell Differentiation and Immune Reconstitution (http://www.thymusmeeting.org/2020) will be held in Wailea Beach, HI from May 2-6, 2020. This is the sixth iteration of the conference, which is the only US-based meeting specifically dedicated to the topic of the thymus and T lymphocyte differentiation, and how these processes are altered during aging and by disease. The conference therefore has a unique scientific content, addressing the highly dynamic and prolific field of adaptive immunity, thymus organogenesis, and T cell development and differentiation, and is relevant for resistance to infection, immune homeostasis from birth to aging, immune reconstitution after therapeutic or pathologic T cell ablation, self-tolerance, and autoimmunity. Importantly, the conference provides several unparalleled features, including (i) a singular focus on thymus biology, which is unique in the Americas; (ii) low cost to all attendees, with additional subsidies provided to trainees; (iii) an extremely rich array of unbiased presentation opportunities, with special attention to trainees; and (iv) a highly stimulating informal interactive environment, providing trainees with access to leaders in the field for the duration of the conference.
